In her work, Lisa Großkopf takes aim at the striving for perfection. She highlights a troubling worldview: one that ascribes responsibility for life’s happiness primarily to the individual, while largely ignoring essential variables such as structural inequalities and social disadvantages. Großkopf confronts the neoliberal ideal—where health, beauty, and contentment are viewed as things to be maximized solely through diligence and discipline—with the reality of hyper-capitalist societies.

At the intersection of literature and visual arts, Sarah Rinderer focuses on dealing with language itself, its pauses, gaps and in-between-spaces. By making seemingly silent punctuation marks audible together with voice performers or by sending a message into the past through semaphore gestures, she explores the conditions that make communication possible – across spatial and temporal distances, different sign systems, codes and beyond words.

Lisa Großkopf (b. 1989, Vienna) studied at the University of Applied Arts Vienna, the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, and the University of Arts Linz. Her extensive exhibition history includes presentations at Lentos, Belvedere 21, the Museum der Moderne Salzburg, and Kunsthaus Graz, as well as recent participation in the Ars Electronica Festival. Her work has taken her internationally to cities such as Budapest, Tehran, Düsseldorf, Bratislava, Amsterdam, Kassel, and Jacksonville, and has included solo exhibitions in Prague, Ljubljana, and Chongqing.

Most recently, she received grants for studio residencies abroad, such as Barcelona, Athens, Reykjavík and Paris, as well as a start stipend for literature (BMWKMS, 2024).

“The #Sun on #Earth” - from #nuclear #fusion #technology

First of all, I would like to explain the #physical #basics of nuclear fusion. I will try to objectively work out the #advantages and #disadvantages of the new technology. Then, in a next step, I will present the #current #state of #practical #implementation of the technology and venture an #outlook into the #near/distant #future.

More steps at: https://philosophies.de/index.php/2024/01/03/die-sonne-auf-erden/

Appreciating the wave of #microservice #criticism posts - Properly assess the #costs and #disadvantages before embracing them. #Modularization is great.

One of my rules of thumb: if you're in a small (<30-50) team #microservices are probably better avoided.

I've been argumenting this for more than a decade but being backed by the #blogosphere surely helps.

#persistence pays off. This job is easily in my skillset but pays well below market value. However, it's within five minutes of my home. There's #advantages and #disadvantages to this; the lower pay means that I'm going to #struggle. A lot. But the close distance means that my travel time and fuel costs will be much lower.

#interviews are scheduled, so I'm pretty stoked. Here's hoping.

This #study on #trans #women's #athletic #disadvantages ought to #change the #debate

Few #antiLGBTQ #policies have taken off as quickly as those #banning #trans #women and #girls from #women’s and girls’ #sports.

From #preserving #Africa's #cultural #heritage to the era of #Artificial #Intelligence
In 2017, the special issue of the #British #magazine The #Economist #announced on the cover that the most valuable resource was now data. This echoed the phrase “data is the new oil”, formulated in 2006 by data scientist Clive Humby.

In 2018 James Bridle clarified that data is not the new oil but the new nuclear energy in that it is unlimited and in its capacity to cause harm (1) .

In fact, since the 1960s, the following terms have come and gone at a rapid pace: data base, datawarehouse, databank, datamining, datamart, data store, big data, data lake, dataset, all #Anglo-Saxon sounding terms with sometimes more or less successful attempts at translations into other languages.

But since the dawn of time, data has been the basis of #communication and the transmission of #knowledge between #humans, which evolved in four stages, oral, written, printed and digital.

Africa?

The African enjoys less of the advantages of being connected to the rest of the world than he suffers the #disadvantages. On a #cultural level, today's young African is likely to know more about the #British #Empire than about the Empire of #Ghana. He is more likely to have heard of #Napoleon #Bonaparte than of #Sundiata #Keita, the founding king of the great empire of #Mali. He will certainly have heard of #Elon #Musk as the richest man on the planet, but not of Mansa Musa, king of Mali in 1312 and probably the richest man who ever lived. And if he heard of #Léopold #Cedar #Senghor or #Félix #Houphouët-Boigny it will surely be thanks to the #Western #Media Through their prism.
